I'm sorry, but I was not allowed to use a calculator or any form of spell checking in grammar, middle or high school. It has prompted me to increase my vocabulary and editorial skills through the years. Spell checking apps are not flawless and should not be allowed when taking exams if the goal of the exam is to test the writing skills of a student as spelling and grammar are part and parcel of good writing skills.
You should probably read up on warrants, their use and how they are obtained. The only warrants in the United States that do not require a magistrate (judge) to approve are arrest warrants that *can be* granted by congress via a house motion when proved that a federal crime was committed and that the person(s) named in the warrant committed the crime. Said warrants still require sword affidavits and show probable cause. Even the patriot act required warrants to be issued by a judge or house motion.
The only time warrants are not required (re: search warrants) are when:
consent for search is given by the person in control of the property
evidence of a crime is "in plain view"
after arrest, the accused's vehicle and person may be searched if said accused was occupying a vehicle at the time of arrest
and that's pretty much it. Most states have pretty strict laws regarding lack of consent not validating probable cause as well.
I agree with you on those points. Where we differ is the "congratulatory" nonsense. I have recently looked, as in, everyday this week and I am seeing consistent bills and referendum going to committee just to congratulate football teams for a winning season, soccer teams, fraternities etc. This, I do not personally believe is a viable use of the time in congress.
As to the electoral college, I completely understand the need to have it.. in 1776 when 75% of the population was illiterate. However, it needs to be reformed into popular vote. As it is, we vote so as to tell the representatives per state, to whom we wish them to elect. Only 24 states have laws regarding the punishment of "faithless electors". 2000 should have seen a recasting of ballots instead of the insanity that went on there.
Remove Congress' ability to pass laws. Have them only create. Institute a system of voting by citizen, regulated, so that the citizenry passes or declines legislation. But that would actually make a democracy...
pass a law prohibiting "flavor text" from being used to deceive voters (see: Like this
pass a law prohibiting "riders"
make the repeal process easier
prohibit resolutions that waste time and money by "congratulating" sports teams
And my vote is: This is stupid. Hypothetically, If I want your data, HDD goes into an external case and read with one or another flavor of linux. If I want to sell it, I'll pull the battery out of the laptop immediately, no power = no 3g. On a PC, do I even have to say it? not plugged in, getting no power. However, if they require some form of external supply, i.e. adding a battery to the mobo, well then i'll just know to pull that fucker out asap then won't I.
You're an idiot. In order to obey an order given, you have to know the order. "Take that hill" requires you to know what hill to take.
"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
You cannot support or defend that which you do not know, regardless of whether it applies to you or not.
No he couldn't. Any programmer with an equal or higher level of knowledge in that language, given enough time would be able to decipher it. If you know what the application does, and the language it's written in, deciphering the word-jumble is relatively easy.
You should actually read Exec order 13526. It will actually tell you exactly what can and cannot be classified, who can classify a document, how it is to be classified, the process of declassification and the storage of classified information.
The simple fact is, the information that was leaked, regardless of being in the open(re: section 1.1.4 - C) is still under classification order and therefor is not allowed on unauthorized systems.
Having the information out in the open does not declassify it. It is the job of the agencies (Military, Civilian or other) to protect not only their systems but the persons employed by that agency from classified information within reason. If one chooses to research the information in their off time, it is up to them to violate the law. But it does not mean that the agency should leave the filing cabinet open for everyone to peruse.
Also please understand, this is not one big package of classified material. The classifying agencies did not classify one big zip file and send it off. These are pieces of individual classified packages which means that, in order to declassify portions of, or the whole, COULD also declassify documents that were not leaked and therefor pose greater harm.
The act by the Air Force is correct in terms of applying the bindings of law to their systems.
Part 1.1 sub paragraph c: Classified information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information.
It is specified within 13526 that it is specifically illegal to obtain, copy or communicate in any form, documents deemed classified without the release of the classifying agency.
If your business model did not have enough foresight to compensate, then your business model was designed to fail in the first place. ISP's well understand the continually growing market for internet delivered content by subscribers. Yet, they still offer competitive pricing packages under what they believe their expense per subscriber will be.
I see this as less an issue of bandwidth and more a business model issue in that, Comcast wishes for their customer base to use their services "Xfinity" for content delivery via phone, web and television rather than a competitor's service. This is nothing new in the business market. The unfortunate thing is, most people using these services (re: Comcast) are generally now locked into contracts or have very limited options for content providers. Clear is a much better option these days, if it is available.
no. DNA has a percentage of accuracy, so you could in theory convict someone based on DNA evidence due to their dna being too similar to the actual criminal's. This methodology would remove that and make it exact.
Fingerprints, facial features, earlobes etc can all be altered. Just look at most of your actors and actresses, or just watch an episode of any of the "real housewives of "
"one of two sixth-grade teachers at North Brookfield Elementary School, did not get approval from administrators before sending the memo to all sixth-grade parents,"
Is everyone missing the fact that this says ONE OF TWO teachers didn't get approval? It means that the other one DID get it.
The problem with that method of thinking is that you are assuming that the "new" people are any different, but in reality, they are not. You do not even get to vote for them unless they meet the idealistic guidelines of their particular party or affiliation.

You can be charged with and imprisoned for illegally obtaining and possessing classified documents.
